The state agency that regulates local law enforcement in Illinois says Mayor Tiffany Henyard 's handpicked police chief is not legally qualified to run the department or serve as an officer.FOX 32 Chicago obtained a letter sent Friday by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board to Henyard about her appointment of Ronald Burge Sr. as Dolton police chief.
"For these reasons, he is currently not authorized to exercise law enforcement authority or to carry a firearm pubically," the letter reads. "We strongly encourage you to remove him from public service until an appointment is submitted and the board determines if he is eligible for reactivation and a training waiver." Last month, Dolton trustees obtained a restraining order preventing Burge from serving without board approval.
